-------------

The Christian conservative website WorldNetDaily has got its undies in a twist over an option that permits same-sex couples in Hasbro?s The Game of Life.

WorldNetDaily recently published a hard-hitting investigative report into Hasbro?s downloadable PC title The Game of Life, an adaptation of a board game created by Milton Bradley in 1860. A WND representative left a review on the games hosting site explaining, ?Many sections of society accept this as normative, but many also would consider this too mature a theme for children. Others would consider this downright offensive.?

According to the WND report, one unnamed ?concerned mother? found that the inclusion of same-sex marriages raised questions in her six-year old daughter that she wasn?t ready to answer. She posted a similar review containing these concerns, which was quickly deleted by an administrator for being ?inappropriate.? Her response to this censorship is where the story really jumps the shark ? ?I had no idea how insidious they were being with pushing the homosexual agenda,? she explained to WND.

It?s great when parents keep an eye on their youngsters? gaming habits, especially when they play said games with them. We understand a parent not wanting to discuss sexuality with a toddler ? what we don?t understand is how the mere inclusion of same-sex marriages in the PC version of Life is the same as endorsing, or insidiously pushing, an ?agenda.? As WND concedes, even the original Life board game allowed players to bond two same-colored (and similarly gendered) pegs in holy plastic matrimony.

Well..hmm..I think some parents read too deep into everything. Nutjobs.


I think parents have the right to determine when to and when not to expose their kids to sexual issues.

its not unreasonable for her to not want her child to be exposed at six years old to sexual issues. Hell, many parents dont want their children dating until they are 16.

Also, since the game of life is rated for ages 5 to adult, I dont see a problem her logic.
People who create items for young children need to stop the propoganda and issue pushing in childrens products. there is no need for "gay" Life game, "gay" sesame street, or "gay" barbie.

Look, dude, I don't know what version of Life YOU'VE been playing, but mine doesn't include a Hot Coffee mini-game.

I'm sure pedofiles feel the same way about people who don't understand them too. They're just ignorant and twisted because they don't understand their love for little sally. She looks so good in that little school girl outfit you know.

It's not hard to explain. At 6 years old, you tell them that some people prefer to be with the same sex. That's more than sufficient, and it'll satisfy their curiosity. As they get older, you can explain it in more detail. If someone isn't capable of discussing issues they find uncomfortable with their children, they aren't fit to be a parent.

So since I don't want to talk about homosexuality to my kids when they are 6 means I'm not fit to be a parent? Your fucked up, you know that right? I could see breaking it down for them when they are 10-12, but not 6.

That's right. It's your job to teach your kids how the world works. If you aren't able to do that,, maybe you shouldn't have had kids ;^)

I feel embarrassed for your woeful lack of intellect if you equate pedophilia with homosexuality.

Only bigots compare gays to pedophiles.

Ok, so as soon as my kid hits first grade, I will break out the bong, some blow, porn, a few rubbers, etc. Because, its important for them to know how the world works.

I'm not saying I wouldn't want to talk about things to my kids, but I think at 6, its highly innappropriate. Fucking libs.

Hey... I see a trend here. I'm going to get a can of lysol, make a label that says "Bigot" and wrap it on the can of lysol. Anything I don't like, I will spray it with my can of bigot.

I feel sorry for your soul if you don't realize both are sinful.

When does having a SOUL equate to religion?

'religion card thrown down = argument fail' = argument fail

I think they are both wrong. Granted PEDOHILIA is more worse, but it's still deviant from our design imho. But I'm a faithful, God fearing person, so I suppose our opinions will differ.

It's not the SOUL, it's the SINFUL.
Sinful = religion
Religion card = argument fail because it means you depart the realm of logical debate

You invoked the concept of sin as a hazard to the soul in a clearly religious context.

I just love how the 'fucking libs' comment is coming out while also playing the 'think of the children' card. I thought 'think of the children' is also supposed to be followed by 'fucking libs'!

So at what age are you goint to explain to them why they see a man and women living together? I bet they're really confused when they hear about marriage.

This is fun! My wife and I are getting a good chuckle out of all this "conversation". :laugh:

Gays are cool, but I don't plan on buying a game which accepts it as "the norm".

Because I don't agree with you and anybody who doesn't share your opinion isn't as enlightened as you therefore doesn't have the capacity to make the same enlightened judgements?

I don't approve of talking about gay relationships with a 6 year old. If you can't tolerate my opinion, one which is shared with a large part of society, then you are just a bigot.

It has more to do with your group trying to get a game removed that I may find enjoyable. If you don't like the game, don't buy it. Christians always try to dictate their beliefs to others, instead of just fucking off, and letting others live their own lives.
